Hi men, I have a problem with one of my manifold studs. basically it stripped last time I fitted the manifold so I had it helicoiled, But this has failed and the manifold was blowing again before I took it off.
Now my problem is do I have it re helicoiled ?, Or do I have it done properly at the local engineering shop, They only want £12 lol.
My other thought was do I take the head off or remove the whole engine and take it down as a whole ?, If I take the engine out I wont need a new head gasket and I wont have to find some random bit of wood to hold the timing chain in place either.
If I take it off I suppose I could get the seats recut and clean up the inlet and out lets with my trusty dremel.
Oh fook what do I do lol.
I just thought of a question, Will I need new head bolts if I remove it ?.
